Lyrics

Control Freak

Uh, uh-uh-uh
When I met you at the party, no, you didn't seem the type (yeah)
To overstep the boundaries and try control my life (life)
And I could be out with my girls, you be blowing up my number
Pick up the phone, now you say you coming over
Too comfortable, we only just met each other
Just 'cause
I might let you hold me
But I ain't tryna be with no control freak
How'd you get to thinking that you own me?
Bro, please, musta bumped your head
Baby, don't forget
Only
You be tryna cuff me like the police
When you talkin' to me watch your tone, G
Take it slowly, you control freak
(Uh, uh-uh-uh) tell 'em
Bet you think you're kinging something (yeah, yeah)
But, boy, you ain't the king of nothing (yeah, yeah)
You're reaching if you call this loving (yeah, uh)
Please, won't you get a grip?
I could be out with my girls, you be blowing up my number
Pick up the phone, now you say you coming over
Too comfortable, we only just met each other
Just because
I might let you hold me (hold me)
But I ain't tryna be with no control freak
How'd you get to thinking that you own me? (No, no, no, no)
Bro, please, musta bumped your head
Baby, don't forget (no, don't forget, yeah)
Only
You be tryna cuff me like the police
When you talkin' to me watch your tone, G
Take it slowly, you control freak
You can't control me (oh no)
I'ma leave you lonely (I'ma leave you lonely, boy)
Boy, you don't own me (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Stop bein' a control freak (you need to stop)
You can't control me (can't control me)
I'ma leave you lonely (I'ma leave you lonely, yeah)
Boy, you don't own me (such a control freak)
Stop bein' a control freak
I might let you hold me
But I ain't tryna be with no control freak (you're a control freak)
How'd you get to thinking that you own me?
Bro, please, musta bumped your head
Baby, don't forget
Only
You be tryna cuff me like the police
When you talkin' to me watch your tone, G
Take it slowly, you control freak
You can't control me ('trol me)
I'ma leave you lonely (I'ma leave you lonely, yeah)
Boy, you don't own me
Stop bein' a control freak (you need to stop)
Stop bein' a control freak
